Abstract

Working at night is associated with adverse cardiometabolic health outcomes. However, there are a lack of nutritional intervention studies conducted amongst night workers, subsequently contributing to a lack of evidence-based guidelines for night workers. The aim of The Eating on the Night Shift study was to understand how night shift workers view working at night in relation to nutritional health and wellbeing, the barriers and enablers to participate in research and what kind of guidance would be useful to them. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with a convenience sample (n = 18) of night workers based in England. The interview covered experiences of working night shifts, perceptions about night work and their health, and perceptions of and likely engagement with nutritional research. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were coded using an inductive thematic analysis approach. Of the final sample 13 were female (72%), 39% worked a rotating shift pattern and 78% had worked night shifts for 1 year or more. Four overarching themes were identified: (1) the consequences of night work on health and wellbeing, (2) eating at night means a less healthy diet, (3) working at night has wider knock-on effects on aspects of lifestyle and wellbeing and (4) nutritional research is perceived as important, but there are barriers to participation. Night workers are aware that working at night can negatively impact their diet as well as their health. Nutritional researchers need to engage with night workers when considering intervention design and implementation as well as in the development of any resultant evidence-based guidance to ensure its relevance.

了解夜间工作对健康的影响以及参与营养研究的障碍和促进因素:对英格兰夜间工作者的定性研究。
夜间工作与不良的心脏代谢健康结果有关。然而,目前缺乏针对夜班工作者的营养干预研究,因此也缺乏针对夜班工作者的循证指南。夜班饮食研究的目的是了解夜班工人如何看待夜间工作与营养健康和福祉的关系、参与研究的障碍和推动因素,以及什么样的指导对他们有用。我们对英格兰的夜班工作者进行了半结构化定性访谈,访谈对象为方便抽取的样本(n = 18)。访谈内容包括上夜班的经历、对夜班工作和健康的看法、对营养研究的看法以及可能参与营养研究的情况。对访谈进行了录音和逐字记录。采用归纳式主题分析方法对记录誊本进行编码。最终样本中有 13 名女性(占 72%),39% 的人从事轮班工作,78% 的人从事夜班工作 1 年或 1 年以上。我们确定了四个重要主题(1) 夜班工作对健康和幸福的影响;(2) 夜间进食意味着不那么健康的饮食;(3) 夜间工作对生活方式和幸福的各个方面有更广泛的连锁影响;(4) 营养研究被认为很重要,但在参与方面存在障碍。夜间工作者意识到夜间工作会对他们的饮食和健康产生负面影响。营养研究人员在考虑干预措施的设计和实施时,以及在制定任何以证据为基础的指南时,需要让夜班工人参与进来,以确保其相关性。
